Messages (MSG)
Message mode lets the pilot know about conditions that require immediate attention. Depending on the level
of importance, a message box may appear on the display over the active mode. A flashing annunciator “M” will
appear at the bottom of the display when a message is available for viewing. The GNS 480 provides both visual
text and audio messages. Audio messages do not require pilot input and can be turned on or off in the System
mode. The message annunciator (“M”) stays on when a modified flight plan exists to remind you that the flight
plan needs to be executed.
1. Press the FN key until the MSG key label is available.

3. Turn the Large knob, or press the New or Old keys, to switch between the Old and New Messages.
